> At that point, some countries (presumably rich ones) will have cleaned their own houses emissions-wise and be signed up to assist poorer nations. > It will then become unacceptable to them that their efforts are in vain and at risk, because other countries are free riding and doing nothing, and continuing to pump emissions into the atmosphere. The idea of invading countries to stop carbon emissions is interesting as a thought experiment, but given how things are now, it's far more likely that most countries (including rich countries) won't make efforts to massively reduce carbon emissions until it's far too late. It may already be far too late. Most countries aren't even interested in trying to limit emissions to their current levels which is a complete joke compared to what is actually needed to have a chance of stopping global warming (assuming it can still be stopped).
